>”Learning assembly language is basically useless at this point.”
I whole heartedly disagree. There’s an entire class of performance tuning you can do to math intensive applications that absolutely require knowledge of assembly to squeeze that last 0.5% out of the machine.
Video Games, Video Editing, Image Editing, Simulations, Scientific applications, all benefit from having some assembly sprinkled into their algorithms for speed.
Because of this, I don’t need crates or packages to do things for me, I’m capable of doing it on my own. I’m capable of building a 64kb demo scene executable. I’m capable of building a hardware accelerated video decoder. I’m capable of parallel vector operations because I can haz assembly. I can disassemble and reassemble binaries, libraries, files, stacks. I can even inject my own code.
If you have no need for speed and efficiency, then I’m sure a browser-based desktop app with some JavaScript will be fine for your use case.
